What is a vaccine?

It seems the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) in America didn’t like the fact that people were using the CDC’s own definitions of ‘vaccine’ and ‘vaccination’ to argue that the mRNA injections aren’t vaccines because they don’t produce immunity against SARS-CoV-2 or stop you getting COVID-19.

Sooooo, they changed the definitions. As you do. (See what other definitions have been changed here.)

Well, I suppose having got everyone to grips with the idea of ‘safe and effective COVID vaccines’ that cuddle up nicely to the various ‘safe and effective vaccines’ people have taken for generations, it might have been risky to find a new word to define this gene therapy that works very differently to ‘traditional’ vaccines. Might have given people pause if they didn’t recognise the word. (Oh, and if it wasn’t a ‘vaccine’, then there would have been an awful lot of admin to get emergency use authorisation and liability protection for the manufacturers.)

So, as it’s become clear that these COVID jabs might be effective at keeping you out of hospital and the cemetery, but certainly don’t stop you suffering with a nasty bout of the disease (e.g. Andrew Marr, Piers Morgan ) and passing your lurgy on to someone else, the CDC has ‘dumbed down’ how they define vaccines.

In July 2012, ‘vaccine’ was defined as:

“A product that produces immunity, therefore protecting the body from the disease.”

By September 2021, the definition had become:

“A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”

And ‘vaccination’ in 2012 was defined as:

“Injection of a killed or weakened infectious organism in order to prevent the disease.”

It’s now:

“The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.”

Gone is the idea that vaccination will produce immunity – you know, the thing that vaccines used to be known for. And disease prevention is now out of the window, replaced by protection – that’s to say, you can still get it, but the vaccine should treat it.

In the UK’s Cambridge Dictionary:

April 2021

August 2021

That’s it, folks: all they're committing to saying now is that a vaccine gets you to produce antibodies to fight the disease – which is exactly what a healthy person’s own natural immune system will do anyway.

Oh well, at least the new definitions should get rid of those “it’s about protecting other people” and “you’re being selfish by not getting vaccinated” arguments. Every cloud.
